The lady opens her mouth to reveal shark-like teeth. "It's a pity that you'll die."

Aliya sighs.

Aliya's P.O.V

Oh? Why am I not surprised?

It's a pity that I'm not surprised or scared of her. What am I? A psychopath? I really need a doctor.

"Interesting, isn't it?" the lady says to her mouse-sized cat.

"Is that a mouse or cat?" I ask, done with everything.

She laughs, "I never thought someone will dare to ask that after a long time."

"And?"

Bitch, I'm done with you and everything!

"And. This is my cat. Isn't it cute?"

"Umm... It's cute but looks like a cartoon."

Don't get me wrong, cartoon is cute.

"Pfft- Are you not surprised, girl?" tilting her head, the lady pats her cartoon-like cat.

Can I ask her where did she pick that cartoon up?

"Miana was actually a doll."

"Hmm? Ok, anything else?" I search for my watch at the bedside. It's too dark to see the wall clock.

"What are you searching for, girl?"

"What time is it?"

"Huh?"

"Hmm? Yes?"

"Why do you want to know that?"

"I'm bored," completing the rest in my mind.

In another word, done with everything and be a clock myself.

The cat left her lap and start jumping around like a cartoon.

"You are bored so why do you want to know what time is it?"

"I don't know."

Ok, that's a lie.

The lady comes near me and touches my chin. She tilts my face. She says, "You are interesting. I wish to fight you when you grow up, child. So, stay alive till then."

No. Thank you. I'm not interested to talk with you again!

Before I can reply, she vanishes. The rain stops but the sky is still dark and cold chilly winds are still blowing.

The sound of my family chatting can be heard again. I heard some footsteps. My mom comes and asks, "What time is it?"

I point at the wall clock. It is 2 pm.

***

To that day I am waiting for this miss Red. But... There is no sign of her coming and fighting me. It's been 15 years since that day.

Shocking or not, my element is earth even though it was supposed to be water according to my passing stage. Oh... And I'm attracted to rain maybe because it's my favorite season.
